On the Blog Title

Egotism - usually just a case of mistaken nonentity.

Barbara Stanwyck

Thinking my blog title sounds a little self-important, perhaps even egotistical?  Yeah; me too.  I have never been very good at coming up with titles. Whether it be for posts, thesis papers . . . or blogs, my creative abilities do not encompass the ability to conjure up good titles.  So when I came up with a few good ideas for a title for the blog, I was exceedingly proud of myself.  Then came the thud of landing back on earth when I realized I was not as creative as I thought.  Those blog titles were all taken.  Someone had already come up with those ideas for a blog long before I did.  And my next set of ideas.  And the next.  Until, finally, I typed THIS title in and it was free.  So I pounced and snatched it up, even at the risk of sounding self-important. Or egotistical.

In all actuality, the title was one of last resorts and desperation.
